July 14, 2014 – ROSEMONT, IL) The 2014 edition of EXXXOTICA Chicago (http://chi.exxxoticaexpo.com) showed exactly why the show is the largest event in the nation dedicated to love and sex. Records for EXXXOTICA were set across the board for this the fourth show in Chicagoland (and 23rd show overall) on the exhibitor, sales and attendee side, as well as a more incredible overall production for the event.
EXXXOTICA Chicago saw a record number of women and couples at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, as well as increased overall attendance. The expo’s sold-out exhibitor floor also saw those vendors selling out of product and posting amazing sales numbers. It didn’t matter what an exhibitor was selling or promoting — the cash-in-hand attendees couldn’t get enough. One exhibitor, Charles Craton, who has participated in over 20 shows, said that this was his best EXXXOTICA ever for sales at his DVD and novelty booth.
For attendance, more women than ever took advantage of “Ladies Free Friday” (sponsored by ArrangementFinders.com), and Saturday had an incredible crowd flowing through the doors. Sunday also saw a nice and steady attendance, making all three days of EXXXOTICA a rousing success and left exhibitors with very little to no merchandise left to bring home.
More than 150 stars of the adult industry came to EXXXOTICA Chicago, and many said it was their favorite and best show they had ever participated in. Adult’s biggest and hottest stars such as Tori Black, Tera Patrick, Allie Haze, Ron Jeremy, Lexi Belle, Tanya Tate, Phoenix Marie, Evan Stone, Stormy Daniels, Kayden Kross, Veronica Rodriguez, Nina Hartley, Jada Stevens, Kendra Lust, Ash Hollywood, Belle Knox, Adriana Chechik, Ryan Driller, Joanna Angel, Dillion Harper, Layton Benton, Sophia Fiore, Kaylani Lei, Tara Lynn Foxx, Jynx Maze, Brooke Haven and more were there. Some of the longest lines were there to meet VH1 “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” reality stars Mimi and Nikko who were there to meet and greet fans and sign copies of their Vivid Celebrity sex tape.
The new and improved Entertainment Stage, with a massive video wall and array concert sound system was one of the main focal points of show throughout the weekend. Performances by feature dance acts such as RubberDoll, Brooke Haven, Dreamboys Chicago, Stallions Male Revue, and Tera Patrick, as well as daily all-star panels, stage performances by Mistress C, giveaways, Veronica Rodriguez’s International Twerk Contest, and the crowning of a new Ms. EXXXOTICA highlighted the three-day stage schedule. Attendees also came out in force for EXXXOTICA’s seminars on a vast variety of adult-themed subjects, presented by a who’s who in the adult world, such as Ron Jeremy, Nina Hartley, Belle Knox, Will Ryder, Tanya Tate, Evan Stone, Mistress C., sexpert Tyomi and many more.
EXXXOTICA’s VIP attendees also saw the bar raised. Those who purchased VIP admission were treated to not only a plethora of freebies and discounts, but also were able to enjoy EXXXOTICA’s new VIP Beer Garden, as well as an exclusive stage viewing. And when the show closed, the VIP after parties started all over the area at venues such as Heavenly Bodies, Castle Nightclub, Kings Rosemont, Evil Olive and Vertigo Nightclub.
“EXXXOTICA Chicago 2014 is the kind of event that we’re always striving for,” said J. Handy, Director of the EXXXOTICA Expos. “We live for raising the bar and this event did just that. Now it’s time to go home, recharge, and do the same thing all over again for Jersey in November.”
Next on tap is EXXXOTICA’s return back to the New York/New Jersey Metropolitan area, November 7th through 9th at the New Jersey Convention and Expo Center in Edison, NJ, and the show’s producers are already planning even more features and surprises.
